But because there are plenty of others who do recognize this, I think that the choice to use this design is legit. The point of a Halloween costume is to represent something recognizable. Whether this is "creative" is up to the viewer.

Practically everyone knows what the legend of zelda is, even my five year old brother.

I wouldn't wear this - I don't think a lot of women will - but I most certainly VOTED for this because it REALLY follows the theme of Shirt-as-a-costume. IMMEDIATELY you know who / what this is supposed to be. It is very very well done.

Sure, it is a short lived "joke" (commentary), but people buy political Tees and Bumper Stickers all the time, and those are certainly "dated" materials. And heck, this is only $10, not out of line at all for that type of thing.

They don't copyright them, but they do trademark them. They get design trademarks on various shapes and configurations that define the product. The Game Boy design was officially trademarked in 1992, but it's not an active trademark anymore. It expired in 2003. Hope this helps clear things up.

BTW, if those 2 shirts in your Sig are yours, just wanted to let you know, I have them both - and 2 other family members also bought the Raven one :D

llo - yeah, i think my sense of humor is on a blurry line between ironically ridiculous and actually ridiculous, and sometimes the difference is indistinguishable. Like if i dress up as a payphone, am i being intentionally boring, or do i think i'm great but i'm actually boring?
